The suspended Dodgers star might not need a fancy chair or his own chef, but he’s sure not giving much of his time to fans or his new teammates.

If you were Man-Ram, wouldn’t you be working overtime to overhaul your image? Wouldn’t you be signing autographs until your fingers cramped?

John Wooden, 98, only recently slowed in the autograph-signing department, but I’ve seen him sign for two hours until every last person waiting received his trademark signature and a warm hello.

What’s wrong with Ramirez? Sure, he’s signed a few autographs here and there, cameras capturing each stroke of the pen.

But if you were Manny, wouldn’t you spend countless hours talking to 22-year-olds dreaming of making the majors? They get giddy at the mere sight of him. Wouldn’t you want them to avoid the same mistakes? Or what about an autograph for the 6-year-old boy who can’t even comprehend why Manny can’t return to the Dodgers until Friday’s game at San Diego?

Ramirez doesn’t care. If he did, he’d stick around more often.

Ramirez didn’t play for Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday because of rainy conditions. That was understandable. Ramirez is serving a 50-game drug suspension and risking a hamstring or other injury while playing for the Isotopes in a meaningless game is ludicrous.

What’s also ludicrous is that Ramirez left the ballpark through a back door of the clubhouse before the game even started. He would have suffered no injuries hanging out and lending his experience in the dugout or signing autographs and perhaps making some kid’s day.

Ramirez left 11,283 fans high and dry. He was scheduled to play that day, so it’s not like he had an important business meeting scheduled. Then again, news broke earlier in the day that Major League Baseball is cooperating with a federal investigation into how he got the drugs that warranted the suspension. Perhaps Ramirez needed to call that Miami doctor so they could get their stories straight.

If I was writing Ramirez’s paychecks, I would’ve ordered him to sign autographs for the entire game. Extra security was at the game just for Ramirez, so it could have been used to monitor the line. Let Ramirez give back to the fans who have shown such an unflappable adoration to him.

Not Manny.

Fans arrived early and stood in 106-degree heat at Lake Elsinore, where Ramirez made a minor-league rehab appearance on Saturday.

Asked if he would be disappointed if he didn’t get an autograph, fan Eddie Corona, who brought his two sons, shook his head.

“No, as long as he did for some other Dodgers,” Corona said. “We just want to see him hit a home run. We want him to see that L.A. fans are supporting him. We want to see him back in game shape.”

Fewer than 10 autographs for Dodgers fans, and no one seems to mind. Ramirez obliged with that home run in the first inning, and that’s all fans seemed to care about.

Meanwhile, Ramirez’s teammates, the ones playing for the Dodgers in games that count, are helping tenfold.

Andre Ethier took kids from USC football coach Pete Carroll’s program, Children for a Better L.A., to Best Buy on Friday. He donated money and his time by helping children select merchandise. After Wednesday’s game, James Loney will host a video game party. Last month, Chad Billingsley hosted, “Chad’s Champs,” a day at the ballpark for children and their families who are at Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA.

Russell Martin just pledged to donate $600,000 to the One Drop Foundation, which fights poverty by supporting access to clean water. He’ll host a fundraiser for the organization this summer, too.

The list goes on and on of Dodgers using their fame to promote worthy causes.

Ramirez still doesn’t get it.

Dodgers fans have made it clear they don’t care about the drug suspension. And now they don’t care that he’s skipping out on autographs and leaving mid-game?

Sure, he chatted with 24-year-old outfielder Elian Herrera, who’s from the Dominican Republic, in left field over the weekend during batting practice. You should’ve seen the smile on Herrera’s face. It would be great if Ramirez made more teammates smile like that.

Instead, he took his bats and left after the fifth inning Saturday.

Ramirez could have watched the rest of the game and talked to his teammates about what he would do in certain situations. Instead, he was probably somewhere along I-15, listening to music.

People should care, but they don’t. They just want to see Ramirez hit home runs.

They don’t care if he doesn’t care. They don’t care if he did drugs. They probably wouldn’t care if he did them again.

Manny doesn’t have to be a mentor. Manny doesn’t have to sign countless autographs.
